My first blog ever--sort of...

Okay, so here's another reason that I haven't gotten into this whole technology thing. It's confusing! For example; I set up my first blog ever last week. I have a cool little blogspot name and everything...uploaded a picture even...I can go directly to the website...and there I am cool and groovy right? Not. I can go to the website and stuff but when I actually log-in under my email addy and stuff. My blog isn't accessable to me, and I am unable to update...also all my info is missing from my "dashboard"...but if I go to the website...I see it! It's right there! Arrrg! So obviously, I did something wrong and I had to make a new one...so here it is...my first blog ever---redux. Probably I just confused a bunch of people on top of being confused myself...so there you have it...one reason why technology is so mystifying to me...well---hopefully I will get better at it and not be so easily frustrated once I start playing more...just had to rant---and for those of you who missed original first blog ever...also a rant (sorry)...here it is:
"Ummmm...so here it is...my first blog ever. I've never tried this before because, truthfully, I really wonder who out there in cyberspace would really be interested in anything *I* would have to say. I always kinda thought that it was a little narcissistic to go posting your opinions ranting/raving and expecting that anyone should care. Who has time to look at what I'm thinking about or doing when you all have your own lives to lead? The other thing is...privacy. Well, my thoughts and opinions have always been my own. I don't always feel comfortable sharing them with just anyone anywhere. Also, what if my opinions change? Or what if what I've written gets taken out of context and comes back to bite me somehow? Perhaps this is "old school thinking," which is why I am taking this step to see what happens...I'm still a bit skeptical about the whole thing though. Technology is cool...but also a little scary (and I *hate* how "old" I sound saying that)."
